Here is something I posted on RR in the no talk about Sharpe thread. First article is from November I think. Second one is more recent. These 2 articles should tell you where we are with Sharpe. I think he'll eventually play and if for no other reason, he won't be able to resist the urge to play with his new friends.
LEXINGTON, Ky. — University of Kentucky commit Shaedon Sharpe tells Sports Illustrated he will enroll at UK in January to redshirt and start practicing with the Wildcats while getting ready for the 2022-'23 season.
The top ranked player in the Class of 2022 committed to Kentucky in September and tells SI's Jason Jordan, “I’m going to report down there after Christmas. I’m going to redshirt. I just want to get a head start on college basketball and train with older, bigger, stronger and better players.”
From another article...
Does that mean we could still see Sharpe play this season?
Following Saturday’s loss at Auburn — a game Kentucky lost guards TyTy Washington and Sahvir Wheeler to injury — head coach John Calipari admitted he wished there was more time to get Sharpe up to speed.
“I just wish we had a bunch of practice time where I had two weeks with him (Sharpe) to where we could run 3-4 different things and him defensively play because he’s a terrific player,” Calipari said.
I think he will eventually play this year and I'm willing to wait. You boys are the ones who put a timeline on it. Most of you guys wanted him to play the first day on campus. That's just not realistic.
Sit back and enjoy what's going on now, if he plays later then that's great. If he doesn't, we didn't plan on him playing this year when he decided to come here. CJ Frederick is the missing piece, not Shaedon Sharpe.
